why do the bulk of my buyers come from the west coast? I'm in N.J.
CA, FL, TX, PA, MD, OR, make up the bulk of my sales. I can count on one hand how many buyers come from the rest of the lower 48. I've checked various threads over the years but found no definitive answer. It's not possible that buyers in the rest of the US don't use tools. I send out about 500 pkgs. a year. Years ago I found a theory online that said eBay does not appear in all of the lower 48. any confirmation on this?

·1 year agoI have this wild, crazy theory.
Your sales will go to the states of the people who buy your stuff.
diecastorbust
·1 year agoI used to wonder the same thing. Then it became painfully obvious. I live in Michigan so one would think would ship all over the country in four years of selling I have never shipped to Detroit. The most diehard basketball fans are pistons fans yet it goes to San Diego. It’s all another way to squeeze one more penny out of the seller with fees on shipping. Whenever something seems strange just know it’s a way for eBay to make more money. Ebay claims things like this are just glitches in the system. A glitch can go any way . I’ve never seen a glitch in the selllers favor ever. Seems like those glitch are more like they hope sellers don’t find out and when they do just say oops. eBay’s here to make eBay money even if it hurts the ones doing the work for them.

·1 year agoThe first thing to consider is that California's, Texas's, Pennsylvania's, Maryland's, Oregon's and Florida's populations, added together, make up over 1/3 of the entire US population. Those states' median incomes are also in the top 30 out of the 50 states. So it would make sense that we'd see a lot more sales going to those places.
I, too, see the bulk of my wares going to a few states; in my case it's California and Texas, less so Florida, but also a significant number to Washington state. I have sometimes wondered if west coast folks are reselling stuff to east Asian countries. Many of the people there have a fascination with American culture and may be willing to pay a premium for stuff from the US. I have no facts to back this up; it's just a hypothesis.

·1 year agoI've been talking about this for years and made many posts about it . It gives Ebay gets more money this way I have to up rates to cover the western states (Im in Pennsylvania) seems like all my majority of sales except for Florida and Texas are CA NV OR WA HI UT AZ . Maybe there is a deal with the PO that we pay more this way to the Government. I know if its free shipping its going west of the Mississippi

·1 year agoI was curious, so I downloaded our sales from 2024 (on my business account), did a pivot table showing the breakdown of US States, and measured it as a percentage of sales (based on unique order numbers, not dollar amount). We're in Florida, btw, but it looks like our sales were distributed about on the same distribution of the population of the country, in my estimation.

·1 year agoIf you have free or fixed cost shipping then one of the natural side effects is that you will most often be the cheapest option to someone in the furthest zone and will almost never be the cheapest option for someone in your zone as their total price with calculated shipping is going to likely be cheaper.
yuzuha
·1 year agoYep. My figures that are 1+ lbs almost all sell to zones 1-4 because my calculated shipping makes my listings more appealing to local buyers than sellers who do free shipping. However, my 13-16 oz figures (where I do a flat shipping rate) almost ALWAYS sell to further zones because the flat rate option makes it cheaper to them.
johnrj1226
·1 year agoAgree with every thing you stated followed that same basic policy. I live in GA and my shipping/handling charge was based on USPS price at the USPS counter price plus a charge for packing materials. My sales of 1665 item were 46.5% to the Western 1/2 of the US and 53.5 to the eastern 1/3 (dividing line was basically the Mississippi river.
Believe the secrete to successes is to get a shopper to stop at my listing vs the other guys. I also believe that my listing is my best sales person. Shoppers like lower prices my way will/should show a lower price than a free ship. Where I could would show a partial pic of the item that would ID the product but no the whole thing (eg. top 3/4 of a men's shirt that clearly shows the collar, label part of the sleeve a chest pocket. i.e. show 'em a little leg.. Made my descriptions short and sweet with bullet point descriptions with minimal marketing jargon or a tons of sales conditions that looks like the paper work for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage but with key in fo - like dimensions, mater. And understated the condition of a used item. Buyers like surprises better than disappointments - bet my definition of Excellent than yours EH. Lots of clean a close up pics, especially any bumps or bruises - don't play hide the pea. All leather footwear and other goods were polished and shined and stained - clothing washed and pressed if necessary Never used the term like new. Your integrity is every thing.
I never lost a dime on a transaction met my target profit after all cost Did have a few (5) returns - relisted them at a higher price and sold it.
isaiah53-57
·1 year agoYou are selling clothing - Most likely in flat rate mailers and at weights that wouldnt amount to large increases in shipping - ebay stands to make little to no extra money on the shipping costs of your items, so your point is nearly moot.
We sold heavier weight items and the heavier they were, the HIGHER the chance they were gonna get sold somewhere out west - It was that way the whole time we sold from the east coast - And when we sold in the midwest from 2003-2012, it didnt matter - The shipping cost was the same whether it was going to the east or west coast and the proportions were similar... huh...
johnrj1226
·1 year agoActually haven't sold anything for the last 4 years. But did sell many items besides clothing (most clothing were denims which were over 1 lb. Which mean Priority mail for me that fit in the fixed rate FR padded poly mailer - sold hard goods to , cameras, western style boots, hand bags like Coach, Vera Bradly, 33mm film cameras,, fishing reels many items in the 4-5 lb ranges up to 10-1 lbs. Shipped very few medium or large flat rate boxes - just the standard boxes where one can but up to 70ls if it fits. My s/h rates were fixed for my buyers in the 50 US states, US protectorates (like Guam), including Puerto Rico and APO/FPO
What do you mean by "Heavier Items" not too definitive - see the Priority Flat Rate poly bubble wrap mailer can be used to ship stuff up to 70 lbs too e.g. a gold bar or two (if it fits it ships say USPS). Group Advantage for items 15.99 oz or less was just introduced the last year I sold. It offered decent delivery time with tracking , no insurance coverage didn't use too many of that service.
isaiah53-57
·1 year agoIf your shipping rates were fixed, then the site stood no chance to make extra money on your sales due to shipping increases to far away zones - for that reason, there would be no reason for them to concentrate visibility to far away locales - so your particular breakdown of where sales took place is kinda meaningless to the matter of why there seems to be shipping location anomalies for some users
We had almost no anomalies either when we sold in the midwest for 10 years, other than hardly selling anything to Chicago buyers when we lived in IL - Though we noticed it and thought it was very odd, we didnt care much because sales back then were good and our sales were spread proportionately to the east and to the west of us since there were the same amount of zones to the coast in either direction.
We used flat rate boxes / envelopes where we could, but since we sold many larger items and also tended to sell in lots or in bulk, a high percentage of the time we had to ship in larger boxes using calculated shipping - After we moved to the east coast, it didnt take long for us to realize something was fishy in the amount of items we had shipping close to or west of the Mississippi... We figured we would be inundated with Boston, NY, DC area sales - And we should have been - it never changed for the 6 years we sold from our home in New England... In my book, that's statistically Impossible without heavy manipulation...
One other note...You shouldn't let some of the full-time posters know you still post here though you dont sell here anymore - For some reason they dont think its appropriate - I dont mind though 😀 post all you want - After all its a free country and a public forum...

·1 year agoSome interesting seller terms in some of your listings as is your response to some buyer feedback.
THIS IS AN AUCTION, NOT A STORE. NO WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED ON ANYTHING IN THE AUCTION. THERE ARE NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES. IF YOU NEED A RETURN OPTION, THEN THIS AUCTION IS NOT FOR YOU. AS OUR FEEDBACK SHOWS OUR BUYERS ARE RESPONSIBLE BIDDERS WHO KNOW WHAT THEY’RE BUYING.
IF PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 24 HOURS, AND YOU OFFER NO EXPLANATION FOR THE DELAY, YOU HAVE FORFEITED THE ITEM. IT WILL BE RE-LISTED, AND THE APPROPRIATE FEEDBACK WILL FOLLOW. WE DO NOT SHIP TO FREIGHT FORWARDING COMPANIES. The sale will be canceled and any payment refunded if you have a freight forwarding company address.
PICK UP POLICY
If you’re picking up furniture or other items that we do not ship, pick up must be within 7 days. If you can’t pick it up within that time period, you have forfeited the item. The ownership of the merchandise will revert back to the seller. We don’t have enough space to act as a storage facility
"Hey, it arrived damaged". In the unlikely event that the item arrives damaged because they ran over it with their truck, or dropped it from a plane or some other reason, you are the person who will be dealing with the carrier, but I will assist you where I can with any shipping information that they will need.That means you will have to wait for them to make good on compensating you for the item. I will not be paying you back because they broke it. A lot of time goes into packing each item. Many items are photographed before and during packing if they're fragile. See my feedback.

Most of it is not especially when it comes to the returns and or shipping issues. The OP may be able to cancel the sale but suspect they are doing so using a reason that avoids them getting dings to their account.

onefootflipper
·1 year agoThere are a lot of reasons for this. I am in the center of the country and I also ship more west than I do east and there are many reasons for that.
California by itself is a huge chunk of the US population.
Second is demographics, East Coast homes tend to be a lot smaller than west coast homes, leaving less room to collect stuff, east coast population is much older than the west coast population, (median age is way higher on the east coast than west), thus the east coast population is more likely to be downsizing or on fixed incomes. Both coastal areas are high income, however once you get off the east coast the income gets very low and steadily rises as you go west. And that high income on the east coast is heavily concentrated in the oldest age groups who are least likely to buy stuff.
Then we have the fact that the east coast seems to have a higher seller population than the west coast, likely due to all the antiques kicking around that side of the country that just don't exist in all those west coast towns that were built 50 years ago.

·1 year agoUp until about 2 years ago about 30% of my sales were from California. The last 3 sales I made in December 23 were Californians. I'm in Florida so I wondered why. Then suddenly it stopped and it was months before I had another California sale. My sales were (and still are) in a major slump so this was just something else to wonder about. I also used to get a lot of sales from Tacoma, Washington. Makes no sense to me.

Until I moved OUT of NJ, I didn't realize that the rest of the country was so BIG! I have an uncle in his mid 70's who has lived in the same house since 1968. Before he visited me in Ohio a few years ago, he was wondering if we had trash collection and what the quality of food was like here.
Someone from Jersey asked me YEARS ago, if everyone who ever lived came back to life, where could they possibly live? I was like, "you've never been to Pennsylvania, or west, I guess."

·1 year agoDo you offer free shipping on your items? I am on the east coast as well, and I think that the free shipping items are relatively cheaper for the buyer compared to similar items that charge shipping. The opposite is true too. As I buyer I don't like to subsidize shipping to far off lands by paying more for 'free' shipping when a more local vendor is cheaper with paid shipping.

As I buyer I don't like to subsidize shipping to far off lands by paying more for 'free' shipping when a more local vendor is cheaper with paid shipping.
There is no such thing as "free shipping" somebody is paying either the buyer directly through calculated or flat rate shipping costs on the listing or the buyer/seller depending on whether the seller baked the shipping cost into the price of the item. I am also on the east coast and generally use calculated shipping. The only time I utilize free shipping is when I know that no matter where the buyer is located the shipping cost is going to be the same. This is generally for heavier items that are shipped in a USPS flat rate box.
If I was to bake the shipping cost into the price of the item I would have to do so based on the worst case shipping scenario which would be to the west coast and I would be overcharging my east coat buyers. There are also disadvantages for both the buyer and seller when you offer free shipping. About 1/2 of the states do not charge sales tax on shipping when it can be separately identified in the order. Since eBay charges the seller FVF's on the sales tax both the buyer and seller benefit and save a little $ when calculated shipping is used for states that do not charge sales tax on shipping.
With the continual rise in shipping costs it is becoming one of the more complex issues for sellers to work to try and minimize costs to the buyers and/or their own selling expenses. USPS rates have increased enough to where they are often more than UPS. Try comparing USPS ground advantage to UPS ground saver, you may be surprised at what you find.

·1 year agoWe shipped 1665 packages 46.5% went to the Western states (including Alaska and Hawaii and Guam). Live near Atlanta Georgia... 53.5% went to the rest.. I define the Western State as a line drawn North to South aprprox 300 miles west of the Mississippi River as approx 80% of the US population live to the east of that line and 20% on the other side. Been that way for more than 4 decades
I shipped to all 50 states,, including US Protectares e.q. Guam (way west of Hawaii) and Puertor Rico. eBay is every where - some countries are restricted for the US to ship to. Only shipped by USPS
I think the person who had that theory also had too many beers at their favorite tavern when they came up with that..There can be locations where there is no internet service at all - like people living off the grid or remote areas or some people just don't want to or can't pay for the service will all the added cost (PC, cell phone etc).

·1 year agoOr maybe in proportion to their population. The population of California is more than 60 times greater than the population of Wyoming, so eBay Sellers should expect to average at least 60 times as many transactions with Californians.
Your shipping from Hawaii is a good test to control for shipping costs (or for free shipping with something added onto the item prices) as a relevant factor.

dbfolks166mt
·1 year agoFirst FL, PA, MD and Texas are not on the west coast. It may have more to do with the population. Four of the states you listed, CA, Fl, Tx and PA are in the top 5 of the most populated states in the US. Other things that may be effecting the fact that you sell more to those states is what you are selling and your shipping costs. Some of your items have free shipping. Whether you are factoring that into your pricing is something only you know the answer to but there is really no such thing as free shipping, somebody pays for it.
barely_tan_gerbil
·1 year agoHi, I'm a know nothing most things on eBay, but I read this:
"We charge one final value fee when your item sells. This fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount of the sale — including the cost of the item and shipping, sales tax, and other applicable fees — plus the per order fee."
I live in Washington State and have a sales tax over 10%. Over half my recent purchases on eBay seem to come from sellers in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Florida.
So maybe the FVF which ebay collects includes a percentage of the higher costs for shipping from farther across the country?
isaiah53-57
·1 year ago@barely_tan_gerbil
It makes no sense that half your buyers would be from the other side of the US, especially when you consider a large percentage of buyers would WANT to buy from sellers in their region due to the MUCH LOWER shipping costs and less travel risk/time - All things being equal, the amount of sales would be REDUCED the farther they were from you, not increased or statistically impossible - Unless of course there was manipulation occurring...
Again, I live an hour away from Boston and I can say with all honestly that we had only a handful of sales in the entire state of MA during the time we sold on ebay from 2014 to 2020 - THAT is statistically impossible - We lived in IL previous to that and it didnt matter then - During that time(2006-2014) we had sales proportionately across the board - Go figure...
barely_tan_gerbil
·1 year agoThat's the funny part. I'm not a seller, strictly a buyer. All my search results come back disproportionately weighted along the east coast, it seems to me. I rarely get results from any local sellers. Sometimes, but not often.
Maybe it does have to do with the items I buy, vintage stuff. Maybe the preponderance of those things were aquired mostly back east like some have said?
isaiah53-57
·1 year agoIn my opinion the answer to this is simple - I believe you are being swindled - just as I believe we were being swindled in the same fashion when we were selling here - We experienced the EXACT same sales location breakdown living here in New England - Though we are an hour out of Boston and 5 hours from New York City we had an inordinate amount of sales west of the Mississippi - a statistically impossible and unexplainable situation that I'm sure also caused our sales to suffer - unexplainable, I believe, until you consider the entity you are dealing with:
Its plain and simple to me - the shipping costs for sales in those states will be 2 to 5 times higher than sales from regions near you. The site gets 13.5% of that extra cost - showing your items to regions far from you rather than near you makes them more money and YOU and the buyer both get to pay for the grift...
Yeah situations like this and SO MANY OTHERS have led us to stop listing here - Its been a rigged deck since 2008 in my opinion...

·1 year agoAlright - yuk yuk - Have your fun - I admit I did not read the state abbreviations well enough before I originally replied and I thought most of them were out west by context
Though the point remains - The states in the OP are still WAY too concentrated - And I guarantee you 60+% of our sales of mostly collectibles, comics, cards and shoes went 5-6-7-8 zones away. It is impossible for this to happen month after month the entire time we sold from the east coast without hardcore manipulation.
It is a 100% given that if items like I mentioned above were shown evenly across the country, without manipulation, what would take place is sales would be concentrated in the nearest most populous region, or if not very populous, then the next most populous region, etc, etc - This simply due to the huge increases in shipping cost the farther away the buyer is. It would boggle my mind to see someone paying $25 to get an item shipped to them, when I would see a multitude of the exact same items, cheaper, from respectable sellers in their own state where shipping would be $7-$8. This was constant and in my opinion, patently impossible without manipulation.
As I mentioned, we are an hour away from Boston and 5 hours from New York - where only a small portion of our sales landed - THIS IS STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE - In order for that to occur, I feel there is simply no way our items were being shown there consistently - For me, the ONLY reasonable conclusion is they were being shown 5-6-7-8 shipping zones away to artificially increase the fees we had to pay. In my opinion, given the many and varied exploitations of the sellers here, I dont see how anyone can consider this conjecture to be unreasonable...
